It's so easy to work your way through the app. > > **Cons**: The pricing is a bit high. I don't think it's worth as much as they charge,although I still use it everyday. > > Still can't complain. I use it daily. It's one of the best construction apps I've ever used. No complaints here. ----- ### "Contractor's Estimates and Invoices with ease" — 4.0/5 > **Brandi** | *26 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to send both estimates and invoices. The ease of entering info and posting payments was great. > > **Cons**: The search capabilities are limited. It would be very beneficial to be able to search by address rather than name and also when searching by name and going back you have to enter the name again it does not keep the search you were working on. > > It was a great experience for a contractor needing both an estimating and invoicing tool at a very reasonable cost. It also seems to add updates regularly that are beneficial to the software functioning. ----- ### "Billing and invoice" — 3.0/5 > **Greg** | *29 April 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is pretty straightforward easy to set up and use > > **Cons**: Difficulty in setting up the banking feature ask for a lot of information > > Overall not a bad app would like to see it easier to set up banking ----- ### "Joist No \!\!" — 1.0/5 > **Michelle** | *2 June 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: They "offer" many industry style options for estimates invoicing change orders funding financing and payments > > **Cons**: Joist does not work reliably unavailable access hindering for sometimes days the ability to send billing invoices estimates change orders and get payments and customer support is seriously lacking. They auto debit your account for renewal over 30 days before it is due they rebill you every 11 months for a year subscription. They continue to add to the offerings that have numerous glitches the platform provides while still the fundamental basics still have issues. We have been with them since beta with three of our companies hoping for the promised improvement and it has only been more glitches piled up on the already hit or miss foundation > > app works occasionally without a glitch but with business you need to be able to send estimates invoices etc and get paid with this app it's hit or miss . They increase the price while they hold your information hostage and customer support when present is a chat screen that is hit and miss hours or days of AI style support with a serious breakdown in communication like talking to a bot ----- ### "Joist Invoicing Software" — 5.0/5 > **Carnell** | *13 January 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One stop shop for accounting, invoices, estimates, reviews, payments. Great value for the money \& your payment come as soon as you request transfer. > > **Cons**: Software will allow you to setup client profile yet to manage assignments is not there yet. Hopefully in the future there will be an upgrade to the software. > > Overall Joist is an awesome product for invoice processing, accounts payable, \& accounts receivable. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/233734/joist?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/233734/joist) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
